There is a PD extension called STOSTRAK (aka STOS TRACKER) by Francios Lionet which allows you to play AMOS .ABK tracker files from STOS. Included in the package is a converter from Noisetracker .MOD to AMOS .ABK. The extension adds several commands to STOS Basic, and includes the relevant compiler extensions, too. The quality of playback is severely reduced if you want to do other things at the same time (eg. scroller, sprites etc.), but hey, you can't have everything. This is available from most UK PD libraries; I know Goodmans have it for sure, 'cos I wrote the text file for them! Anyone needing help with the STOS tracker should contact me, as I have a fair degree of experience with it (check out my Budgie progs).
